Early Morning Fire Claims Home On Rural Hardy Circle In Morgan Township

Staff Report

An early Friday morning structure fire resulted in the total loss of a Hardy Circle home owned by Larry and Carol Gibson in southern Morgan Township. Fire personnel from the Patricksburg Community Volunteer Fire Department arrived on the scene shortly after 2:00 a.m. to discover the home fully engulfed in flames. The Gibsons were not at home when the fire broke out.

According to PCVFD Assistant Chief Dave Keith, firemen were able to salvage all of the contents of an attached garage, but the modular home was deemed a total loss. He noted that the fire appeared to have started on the west end of the home, though a representative of the Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office has been contacted to investigate and is expected to arrive on the scene Monday morning.
